You can't see the forest for the trees, as the old saying goes.
But it can also be the other way around: that you don't see the forest for the trees. You miss the individuals.

It would be a shame, because trees are personalities – while at the same time they are part of a beautiful collective; something larger. In that way, and many more, they resemble people.

To the Trees is a book in the same spirit as Roine Magnusson's and Mats and Åsa Ottosson's previous collaboration, Kor – a love story; a tribute to some who are closer to us than most people realize.

Roine Magnusson's photographs highlight the individual trees from the pulpwood and make them the individuals they deserve to be. To the trees is also a depiction of people who explore and affirm their friendship with trees in all their ramifications and forms; people who seek out the trees. Mats and Åsa Ottosson's warm portraits tell the story of tree climbers and tree huggers, tree craftsmen and tree caretakers, tree seekers and tree defenders.

Indirectly, the book also becomes a tribute to something we have in common with the trees: the forest. Go ahead – join the community.
